Today, Arizona Medical Association President Dr. Jason Jameson and ArMA member Dr. Andrew Carroll joined Attorney General Kris Mayes for the announcement of state litigation to end major insurance companies' alleged practice of price-fixing and systematically underpaying physicians.
Collusion between insurance corporations is a threat to healthcare in our state. Arizona already faces a dire healthcare workforce shortage. Reports project that by 2038, we’ll meet just 57% of our patient population’s need for primary care, making our outlook the worst in the nation. Insurers' alleged price-fixing schemes are driving physicians out of practice and making matters worse.
ArMA is in lockstep with the Attorney General on combating anti-trust conspiracies in healthcare. We are a plaintiff in federal litigation with a similar goal: to ensure physicians are justly compensated for the services they deliver so that patients can access the care they deserve.
As it stands, insurers have the upper hand. But together, we can level the playing field for Arizona patients and physicians.
